Today, the Colours of Doi Tung 2025 event is back in Mae Fa Luang district, Chiang Rai. 

Normally, the annual ‘Colours of Doi Tung’ Festival will take place each weekend and on public holidays from 08.00 – 18.00 Hrs. throughout the two months of December and January. This event is held every year to celebrate the success of the Doi Tung Development Project with art, local handicrafts and northern delicacies.

The Colours of Doi Tung offers activities to enjoy the nature and the culture of the six ethnic communities - Akha, Lahu, Tai Yai, Lue, Lawa and Chinese that have lived in the hills for ages. It is hosted at the Doi Tung Development Project, 60 km from Chiang Rai town, in the fertile Doi Tung landscape 1,630 meters above sea level. 

The theme of this year's event is "Winter WonderDoi," and the cartoon mascots were made by famous artists, such as ‘Newyear’ Paphakorn Srikunrayakorn. There are lovely spots to take selfies next to the paintings, statues, and the installations of leopard cats, slow lorises, moles, and Asian barbets.

At the event, all festival-goers can also look at booths selling crafts made by local people and ethics, including eating northern Thai specialities like Nam Ngiao soup, Khao Soi, and pork scratchings. Farmer-grown coffee beans, tea leaves, and veggies are also for sale.

Up until January 26, the event is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and on public holidays. People can get in for 90 baht, but students, seniors, people with disabilities, and monks can get in for half price. Kids under 120 cm tall can get in for free.
